Relevant Intelligence

I dare not claim intellegence! By man's mortality and judgement I am measured by standards of questionable intellect! How can man set a standard messure of intelligence when he, himself, is not the highest by his own standards?

Surely intelligence must be relevant to the individuals choices or to his own interests and capacity.

Does man judge intelligence by his own standards or that of God's? To measure what we consider intellegent is to eliminate God's perspective for our own. And, in so doing, forget the Word of God in the process!

Who is it that sets up the scales that weigh the balance of judgement in favor of either God or man? If we exist and behold a creation around us that was created we must acknowledge a creator. Can we acknowledge a founder of both man and God that might tip the scales in either direction? I think not.

Man cannot create the one and true living God! Man acknowledges his need as a spiritual being, therefore man is the creation of the living God who's life is manifest in the believer!

Intelligence ... is it relevant to God? The Scriptures only say that His way is higher and mightier than ours. Our minds are left at that, operating at their own capacity we call perception.

At that point intelligent becomes synonymous with wisdom and wisdom comes by hearing the Word of God!

Relevant intelligence. Who is wiser in the eyes of God? "For Solomon in all his glory was not cloaked as one of these ..." A wise king not even dressed his best was not even better than the lilies of the field which are here today and gone tomorrow.

We all know that John 3:16 declares the gift of God to man and the choice to live with Him eternally. Verse 17 even states the fact that judgement was not the intention, but grace and mercy offered!

Boil it down! Intelligence is the wisdom to know the difference and to accept the gift!!

The other choice? Lets just say it goes back to boiling!
